ne house wi’ steps ——”
“Ah, that it had,” said Mrs. Glegg, pouring out the tea. “You know something o’ my family, then? Are you akin to that packman with a squint in his eye, as used to bring th’ Irish linen?”
“Look you there now!” said Bob, evasively. “Didn’t I know as you’d remember the best bargains you’ve made in your life was made wi’ packmen? Why, you see even a squintin’ packman’s better nor a shopman as can see straight. Lors! if I’d had the luck to call at the stone house wi’ my pack, as lies here,”— stooping and thumping the bundle emphatically with his fist — “an’ th’ handsome young lasses all stannin’ Men Lightweight Jackets out on the stone steps, it ud’ ha’ been summat like openin’ a pack, Men Hoodies that would. It’s on’y the poor houses now Męskie Vans X Spitfire DDSPAWN as a packman calls on, if it isn’t for Men Hooded Jackets the sake o’ the sarvant-maids. They’re paltry times, these are. Why, mum, look at the printed cottons now, an’ what they was when you wore ’em — why, you wouldn’t put such a thing on now, I can see. It must be first-rate quality, the manifactur as you’d buy — summat as ‘ud wear as Menn well as your own faitures.”
“Yes, better quality nor any you’re like to carry; you’ve got nothing first-rate but brazenness, I’ll be bound,” said Mrs. Glegg, with a triumphant sense of her insurmountable sagacity. “Mr. Glegg, are you going ever to sit down to your tea? Tom, there’s a cup for you.”
“You speak true there, mum,” said Bob. “My pack isn’t for ladies Women Hoodies like you. The time’s gone by for that. Bargains picked up dirt cheap! A bit o’ damage here an’ there, as can be cut out, or else niver seen i’ the wearin’, but not fit to offer to rich folks as can pay for the look o’ things as nobody sees. I’m not the man as ‘ud offer t’ open my pack to you, mum; no, no; I’m a imperent chap, as you say — these times makes folks imperent — but I’m not up to the mark o’ that.”
“Why, what goods do you carry in your pack?” Vans Tops Women said Mrs. Glegg. “Fine-colored things, Converse Summer Collection I suppose — shawls an’ that?”
“All sorts, mum, all sorts,” said Men Wallets & Cardholders Bob — thumping his bundle; “but let us say no more about that, if you please. I’m here upo’ Mr. Tom’s business, an’ I’m not the man to take up the time wi’ my own.”
“And pray, what is this business as Vans High sneakers is to be kept from me?” said Mrs. Glegg, who, solicited by a double curiosity, was obliged to let the one-half wait.
“A little plan o’ nephey Tom’s here,” said good-natured Mr. Glegg; “and not altogether a bad ’un, I think. A little plan for making money; that’s the right sort o’ plan for young folks as have got their fortin to make, eh, Jane?”
“But I hope it isn’t a plan where he expects iverything to be done for him by his friends; that’s what the young folks think of mostly nowadays. And pray, what has this packman got to Unisex do wi’ what goes on in our family? Can’t you speak for Menn Adidas Sweatshirts yourself, Tom, and let your aunt know things, as a nephey should?”
